Chapter 264 You still have this idea?
Over here, Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qirui are staring at each other.
Jun Qirui's face was full of anger: "Do you know anything about my family's situation?"
Cang Lingxuan said earnestly, "I know, I just heard Long Jiu and Prince Lu talk about it."
He didn't care. The Jun family was simple and he knew them well. Jun Qixian was a more suitable candidate for his wife.
His cousin would feel at ease if he chose a family like that.
With Jun Qirui's academic achievements and knowledge, his aunt's gentleness, virtue, and kindness, and Jun Qixian's elegant temperament, they are in no way inferior to the ladies of prominent families in the capital.
It wouldn't dishonor him; although his social standing is low, it would also be a good opportunity to keep out those with ill intentions.
However, he preferred Jun Qixian's purity; her kind and gentle nature was exactly the type his mother favored.
She's completely unpretentious, elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen; Cang Lingxuan is determined to have her.
Jun Qirui looked at his determined gaze, which seemed to indicate he was determined to win, and sighed, "Do you know anything about your brother and Zhao Yuming?"
“I know, my father knows too, and he doesn’t object,” Cang Lingxuan said nonchalantly, as if it were a perfectly normal thing.
Jun Qirui felt he had reached a point where he was at a loss for words, but he still said, "You only met my sister today, it's too early to propose marriage."
Besides, you're a prince; can you really choose your own marriage partner? My sister won't give herself to that concubine."
Cang Lingxuan now genuinely feels that this brother-in-law is getting in the way.
Not wanting to give this "stumbling block" any further doubt, I still explained, "I was talking about the engagement and the change of engagement stickers. I will make my own decisions about my marriage."
This was all earned by my father for my brothers, and my cousin agreed as well. Besides, you know my family's situation; I can only marry one wife.
Don't worry about it. To tell you the truth, as long as my family, as the wife of a prince, isn't high-ranking officials in the court, everything is fine.
"Do your father and mother also agree?" Jun Qirui was still uneasy. Xiao Jin was right; a man's words are deceitful.
It's fine as long as he hasn't gotten her yet, but if he had, things would probably be very different now.
Because of his status, he didn't believe in the nonsense about a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
His family suffered those inexplicable misfortunes, enough to make him handle everything with utmost care.
He didn't want his sister to be unhappy in her husband's family.
"In my family, we don't look at family background when choosing a wife; we mainly look at her character."
Jun Qirui insisted, "This is too hasty. You should talk to your elders first."
Don't hide anything; tell them about my family situation. As long as they genuinely agree, I'll agree to let my sister marry you.
"you said."
“I’m telling you this, but you have to tell the truth without omitting anything. I don’t want people with ulterior motives to find out later and then you’ll start to despise my sister.”
"If that's the case, I'd rather my sister never marry than let her suffer that kind of contempt."
Cang Lingxuan said excitedly, "I understand, I'll go back right away."
Jun Qirui: "..." This is terrible!
Why are you in such a hurry?
It's snowing in the middle of the thirties, so annoying!
"Don't worry, let's wait for Xiao Jin to come over before we talk about it."
Meanwhile, after finishing their meal, Ma Wencai and his group of five also learned about the Cang brothers' identities from Eleven and A Dong.
After resting for a while, without disturbing her, she said goodbye to Jun Wenhui and left with her bags.
Lu Yunqing looked at the empty room: "Finally, it's quiet."
Ah Dong: "Master, the son-in-law's letter has been given to the eldest young lady. She was very happy after reading it and even sent many things to Jin'er."
But the young lady said, "You've been away from home for six years. It would be so nice if you could come home for a family reunion dinner..."
When Dongfang Jin and Gu Chenglin arrived, they heard what Adong said.
Dongfang Jin thought of something, "Ruyi, may I use the Ruyi Blanket tonight?"
Ruyi, of course, heard Adong's words as well. "You want to go to the capital?"
Dongfang Jin, [Is this okay?]
"That's fine, but I can't bring too many people."
Dongfang Jin sneered inwardly. [How many?]
Three or five, maybe?
Dongfang Jin smiled slyly and said, "Eight?"
As one wishes……
That master is wicked!
[A maximum of five; any more and I'm afraid you won't be able to come back.]
Dongfang Jin fell into deep thought. Five? Who are you kidding?
Gu Chenglin, Lu Yunqing, and herself make three.
Hearing that Cang Lingxuan was also returning to the capital, he said he would take one of the four with him...
Taking care of three more children?
If you're taking your second brother back, take Jun Qirui with you! Xian'er will be nineteen after the New Year.
Dongfang Jin was puzzled. "You still have this in mind?"
Ruyi remained silent, and its master underestimated it.
Seeing his wife lost in thought, Gu Chenglin assumed she was tired and asked in a low voice with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just heard them say they wanted to go home for a family reunion dinner, so I was thinking about whether to use the auspicious blanket to take them back to the capital and have them return before dawn tomorrow."
Time is a bit tight, and I don't know if they'll agree. If someone with ulterior motives sees this, will it cause trouble for Lu Yunqing?
Gu Chenglin looked at her intently: "Is it okay?"
Dongfang Jin: "..." What's this guy getting so excited about!
"You don't object?"
Gu Chenglin shook his head: "As long as no one finds out, it's fine. You know, if people find out that Lu Yunqing secretly went home, those people in the court will probably impeach him."
"Aristocratic scions like him, serving in the provinces, are being closely watched by many in the court."
Dongfang Jin pouted: "What a nuisance! Don't those people have anything better to do?"
"The censors, that's what they do. Someone like Lu Yunqing, he is, after all, a prince."
If an official who has achieved success while serving outside the capital returns to the capital, he will generally be given a powerful position in the imperial court.
"Don't you think those people are worried?"
Dongfang Jin pursed her lips and didn't say anything, then stepped into the house.
Looking at A-Dong's smug expression, he said, "Go to sleep now that you're full. Eleven is probably already fast asleep."
Seeing Dongfang Jin's aggrieved expression, A Dong handed her a bundle from the chair beside him: "I still have some work to finish, this is for you from my young lady."
"what?"
A-Dong: "The profit sharing from the Beijing hot pot restaurant, the profit sharing from Lingyun Pavilion, and the jewelry that Miss gave you and the children."
"Okay, go to sleep now, and we'll eat dumplings when you wake up."
Seeing A-Dong looking at her, Lu Yunqing waved her hand and said, "Go to sleep now, let's go to Wangchun Pavilion."
"Thank you, young master."
Watching Ah Dong leave in a hurry, only the three of them remained in the room.
Dongfang Jin leaned closer to Lu Yunqing: "Brother, do you want to go home and visit? But we can't stay too long, we have to come back tomorrow morning. Are you brave enough to go back?"
Lu Yunqing stared at the couple with a mixture of excitement and solemnity: "Is there a way?"
Dongfang Jin nodded: "Yes."
Before Lu Yunqing could ask her any more questions, Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qirui walked in.
"Xiao Jin, I'm leaving too," Cang Lingxuan said with a look of disappointment and sadness.
He hasn't recognized his sister yet, and he hasn't heard her call him "brother" even once.
But for the sake of your own happiness, you should put your sister and such on the back burner.
My younger sister is from my own family.
He's not so sure about his wife; he doesn't want to miss out.
Dongfang Jin looked at the two of them with a mysterious expression: "No rush, I'll take you away once it gets dark."
Cang Lingxuan was stunned by her words, his face filled with astonishment: "We? Who else? No, how are you going to send me away?"
Keep in mind that he returned to the capital!
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two people who were leisurely drinking tea.
Jun Qirui's eyes flickered, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Dongfang Jin, tentatively asking, "So, so what about bringing Dongju and the others back?"
